Fitness Can Make Your Head Explode!

At the moment, I'm reeling from all of the information coming at me regarding my dog, Gracie. She's having some complex medical problems. I believe I'm one of the more educated clients regarding veterinary care, but right now I feel like I don't know a damn thing! Too many opinions, too many possibilities, tests, costs.


I saw a new client yesterday, and I'm sure she feels very similar about the world of fitness. There are so many opinions, possible ways of doing things, products, conflicting ideas, and it's all pricey. Even though she's wanted to, she hasn't been exercising for the last several years because, for one thing, she's nervous she's going to do something wrong. I can't imagine how it feels to walk into a gym and not have a clue as to what to do, what muscles to work (and where they are), how long to exercise, etc. But many people do just that.

For the next few days, I'll blog about the basics: form/posture, the top 5 exercises that cover the major muscles, and what is a good weekly program for the otherwise healthy client. Of course, anyone with medical issues, joint issues, muscle tears, etc. should seek personal advice from a doctor or well-educated fitness professional.

And if there's something you always wanted to know, tell me and I will address it.
